There was always a single road to the sciences, taken by people who were both Christian and inquisitive about empirical evidence and technology. We know this in Newton.
At the end of his massive survey of the universe, Dante encounters God, finally, as a point of intellectual light which encompasses everything.
And, although it is tempting to think that our relation to God is simple: to love and to pray to God, this is not all of it, for the highest religious instinct.
With a mind which shares God’s, and this incredible world, it is only proper and religious to continuously study and to compose our own mind with learning and science. To try to know everything and to set out purposefully to do so. Only time is limited.
